i use mainly gears around town i stick it in nd gear and basically ride it like a scooter same thing in tight twisties think tod on bigger sweepers over mph you run into rev limiter and snick it into third highway is mostly th th if im really moving never th first gear i almost never use except for epic launches this thing fires hard off the line in nd and absolutely flies in first clutch is mostly ornamental all my upshifts are clutchless and even downshift can be done smoothly without a clutch once you figure it out a well spaced three speed tranny would be the ticket but im guessing they didnt have the resources to develop it from scratch
